"...module files are a family of music file formats originating from the MOD file format on Amiga systems used in late 1980s. Those who produce these files and listen to them, form the worldwide MOD scene..."

What might sound as your normal electronic jazz instrumental is actually a small masterpiece of voice sampling. Attempted by many, the genre of using your voice for all samples in a mod file has been around for a while, but this is the only song that I know of that actually made it work.

A whimsical, slightly mischievous and incredibly entertaining piece of music, which you are likely to enjoy more than you think. The mood grows on you, and you find yourself coming back to it again and again...

In the comments inside the file Elwood says he made this after a bad day at school. Probably left many people wondering whether someone had offended him. "Neverending story" does come to mind, doesn't it?"

The ease with which Elwood seems to write those leads, the mastery with which he treats sounds and creates such complex arrangements - all of this amazes. But the depth of music leaves no one indifferent.

In my view, this composer was one of the most elaborate melody writers of the MOD scene. While tunes by other composers entertain and occasionally amaze by their skill, Michal's compositions stand out as tunes which put you to quiet thought and seem to pass on something very intimate. His tunes are incredibly well written and he is one of my all time favourite mod composers.

Something scientific and futuristic in this tune. Actually, the way arrangements are made, many Michal's tunes remind of Jarre and Space, but melodically they are quite different. I think this tune shows that - I suspect Jarre would take a different direction here.

This is truly something magical. One of very few tunes to use voice samples. Later I heard the final version of this track, but it way worse and the magic was absolutely gone, so I prefer this version.

A chillout tune using various looped samples. Something more common these days, during tracker days it sounded awesome and unique, as it was generally closer to what you hear on the radio than most tracked tunes.
